IMPROVEMENT IN FRAMES FOR HOT-AIR REGISTER-S.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,080, dated February 3,1874 application filed December 6, 1873.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD A. TUTTLE, of

' the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Register-Border,

` of which the following is a speeilication:

My invention consists of an improved method of connecting the interior open-work portion ot' the front or border of a hot-air register with the outer or marginal portion in a way to simplify the means for fastening it, and facilitate the removal of it whenever it may be deportion of the border.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate correspondin g parts.

A is the said marginal portion or frame, which is to be fastened to the wall over the register by the ordinary or any approved method. D is the middle open-work portion, which I propose to fasten by my new method, which consists of the openings F at the upper ends of the flanges D, and the arrangement of the upper edge of part B, so that when it is placed against flanges D it eanibe raised behind lng G, and the top wall H high enough for the lower edge to rise over lug I and drop behind it on the ange E, and thus be held in place by Hinges l) E anal the lugs G and I. Lugs or other equivalent projections may be used instead of the flanges D and E.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the border A having lug G and liange l) with slots F, of the detachable slotted or open-work plate D, substantially as shown and described.
